Lessons!

I haven't really had much inclination to sew this week, partly because I was so wrapped up in designing my Pixel quilt, but also because I am still out of sorts from working three night shifts. So today when I had an urge to make another lampshade with these
fabrics, I didn't waste much time thinking about it and just got to
sewing.

First I made myself a quick design in EQ7 ....

then whipped up the geese...

and only then did I remember what an absolute ball ache linen can be when you have raw edges! and yet I still I carried on!?!

and it does look pretty from a distance, but if I plug it in I can only show it from this angle...

Lessons learnt from today's little sewing session? Don't use black linen on a lampshade, it will just end in tears! ;-)
